Applieniion filed April lf2, 1387. Serial No. 234,518. (No modul.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. SCHINDLY, of

Luthersburg, in the county of Clearfield andl The object of my invention is to provide a4 new and improved stumppuller which is sinipleand durablein construction and very effect s ive in operation.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of various parts and details and combinations ofthe same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying` drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a front elevation of my improve` nient. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ofthe saine. Fig. 3 is a detail front elevation of the upper part ofthe posts, and Fig. AL is asectional side elevation ofthe same on the line ma@ of Fig. 3.

The two front posts, A A, are secured at their lower ends to the base beam B, and through their upper ends passes a bolt, G, on which is hung a link, D, between the posts A A, and extending through a slot, E', in the rear post, E, and secured to the latter by a wedge, F, passing through the link l), thus uniting the upper ends ot' the three posts A, A, and E firmly together. On the bolt C, between the posts A A, is also hung a clevis, G, connected by a link, H, to the clevis I, supporting the rear end of a pulling-lever, J, provided with a slot, J', and notches J 2, for securing the clevis K, connected in the usual manner with the chain or rope placed around the stunip to be pulled. The clevis K is held adjustable in the said notches J 2, so as to increase or diminish the leverage ou the pullinglever J according to the resistance offered by the stump Lo be pulled. The front end of the pulling-lever J is connected in the usual manner with the tackles L L, operated by the rope or chain N and supported by the chain or links O from the upper end of the rear post, E. rlhe posts A A and E are additionally secured to each other by the braces P. l

It will be seen that the manner of unit-ing the posts at their upper end is very simple andL effective, and the clevis K, being adjustable on the pulling-lever J, permits ol' pulling on the stump according to its resistance offeredthat is, with'niore or less force, as circumstances require.

Having thus described iny invention, what I claini as new, and desire to secure by liettcrs Patent, s

1. In a stump-puller, the combination, with the front posts and the rear post,ofabolt passing through the upper ends of the said front posts, a. link held on the said bolt and passing through a slot in the rear post, and a wedge passing through the said link at the rear edge of the rear post to hold all the posts securely to gether at their uppercnds, substantially as described.

2. .ln a stump-puller, the three posts A A and E, the bolt C, held in the upper ends of the posts A A, the link D, and the wedge F, passing through the said link D, in combination with the clevis G, held on the said bolt C, the link H, suspended from the said clevis G, the clevis I, connecting the said link H with the rear end of the pulling-lever J, the pull,4 ing'lever J, having` the slot Jl and the notches J2, and the clevis K, held in one of the said notches J2, substantially as described.
